World Water Council: The Importance of Public-Private Partnerships
The World Water Council, along with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), recently released a report, “Water: Fit to Finance,” which examined the challenges of financing water infrastructure. One of the suggested solutions to achieve a water-secure future included public-private partnerships because of “the expertise they bring as much as, or even more than, for their direct contribution of ‘new’ finance.”
Like many other groups, including the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the Brookings Institute, the industry experts that collaborated on the report understand that these partnerships help communities efficiently meet local water needs, as well as bring value to the economy.
